Physiologically, we are rhythmical. We must eat, sleep, breathe, and play regularly to maintain good health. Emotionally we are rhythmical, too, for psychologists say that all of us feel alternate periods of relative depression and exhilaration. Intellectually we are also rhythmical, for we must have periods of relaxation following periods of concentration. It naturally follows then that rhythm, a fundamental aspect of our lives, must be a part of any good literary work — whether poetry or prose.According to the passage, which of the following pairs of activities best illustrates intellectual rhythm?
A、Studying a science book and then studying a psychology book B、Learning a poem and then taking a nap
C、Playing ball at the beach and then going swimming
D、Solving a math problem and then solving a chemistry problem
【正确答案】B
【答案解析】答案选B。段落的结尾处讲到:在脑力活动方面,我们也同样是有节奏的,因为我们在高度集中精力一段时间以后,必须让脑子有一个松弛的阶段(“we must have periods of relaxation following periods of concentration”)。根据这个信息,A、D项内容都是高度集中的脑力活动,与原文内容恰好相反;B项内容是学习诗歌与小睡一会,正好符合原文,一张一弛。而C项内容又全是不费脑力的活动,也不符合原文。

religious but commercial, and forever happy. Fast-food eaters, news anchors, text messengers, all smiling, smiling, smiling. Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes. And since these messages have an agenda—to lure us to open our wallets—they make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable. “Celebrate!” commanded the ads for the arthritis drug Celebrex, before we found out it could increase the risk of heart attacks.In the author’s opinion, advertising______.
A、emerges in the wake of the anti
happy art
B、is a cause of disappointment for the general public C、replaces the church as a major source of information D、creates an illusion of happiness rather than happiness itself
【正确答案】D
【答案解析】答案选 D。观点态度题。本段第4句指出,商业文化(其代表就是广告)传达快乐信息的目的是诱使我们打开钱包,而这使快乐的概念本身变得不可信了。接着指出,我们忘记了,幸福不仅仅是没有痛苦的享乐,那些带来最大快乐的东西同时也最有可能带来巨大的损失和失望。由此可知,广告带给我们的快乐是一种不真实的感受。因此D正确。

We are also accustomed to this recurrence in the alternate heavy and light beats in music. Our love for rhythm seems to be innate: witness the responses of a small child to lively music. Children love to beat on toy drums or empty boxes. They stamp their feet and chant nursery rhymes or nonsense syllables, not unlike primitive dancers. As children grow older, they are taught to restrain their responses to rhythm, but our love of rhythm remains. We live in rhythms; in fact we
